Notes for Margaret Hopkins
Margaret (Hopkins) Fesperman
Margaret (Hopkins) Fesperman, 95 of Sibley, IL passed away at her home on November 7, 2021, at 9:03 pm surrounded by her family.
She was born February 14, 1926, in Rowan County, NC the daughter of Hattie Parks Hopkins and James Franklin Hopkins. She attended Salisbury Schools. Margaret worked as a weaver at the Cone Mills, Salisbury, NC for many years.
In addition to her parents, Margaret was preceded in death by her husband Hubert L. Fesperman who died November 5, 1991. She was preceded in death by 4 brothers R.T. Hopkins, V.L. Hopkins, S.A. Hopkins and Clyde B Hopkins and 2 sisters Dora Bell and Audrey Edmunson.
Margaret is survived by one daughter Teena Posey (Kenneth) Riggs of Roberts, IL and one step-son Ronnie Fesperman Denver, NC. She had 4 Grandchildren John (Cara) Peeler of Newman, IL, Tim (Laura) Peeler of Sibley, IL, Bob (Amy) Peeler of Champaign, IL, and Michelle (Bill) Macklin of Marshall, MI. She had two step-grandchildren Brian (Heather) Fesperman and Amy (Scott) Goodman of Denver, NC. Margaret was blessed with 10 Great Grandchildren and 15 Great-Great Grandchildren. She is survived by one brother in law Larry “Snake” Fesperman many nieces and nephews and great friends including Betsie Stroud and her “son” Coot (Barbara) Loflin.
She was a member of the Rockwell United Methodist Church. Margaret enjoyed reading her bible, sewing, quilting, needlework and in Margaret’s later years playing with her Great-Great Grandchildren. Whether she was getting down on the floor to play Barbies and/or babies with Gabriella and Gracelyn or pretending to hunt or shoot (dart gun) targets with Gunner it gave her the biggest smiles ever. In the past two years she enjoyed several family trips including going back home to North Carolina to visit friends and family. She was the kindest little lady and loved by all that met her. Margaret had the sweetest personality, coldest hands ever, but the warmest heart we will ever know. Margaret’s whitty “Mamaw-isms” will never be forgotten.

The funeral service will be held Saturday, November 13, at 11:00 AM in the chapel of Powles Staton Funeral Home, Rockwell, NC with Pastor Charlie Curtis officiating.
